“I’m bored!” my 11-year-old nephew declares on a regular basis, never mind whether he’s at the zoo or seaside or even summer camp. “Buy him a camera,” a wise parent advised my sister. She did. And now? My nephew is never bored. He is always raising his camera and shooting, therefore seeing so much more about him, seeing it in a new way. Boredom? Solved by becoming a shutterbug. What a great tip for parents of pre-teens (or kids of any age). And here’s a shot of my nephew capturing some baby seals during a boat ride yesterday. It didn’t hurt that our boat captain was a professional photographer who encouraged my nephew (and knew where the seals hung out).

Hope everyone is having a great August. Pam
